In an air conditioning case, a blower sucks air flowing out from first and second upstream side ventilation paths from one side in an axial direction of a fan axis by rotation of a blower fan and allows the sucked air to flow to first and second downstream side ventilation paths. An upstream side guide member is provided on one side in the axial direction with respect to the blower fan and guides the air to the blower fan. Further, the upstream side guide member has a twisted shape and guides the air to the blower fan along the twisted shape.

A counter-rotating fan, comprising an impeller assembly and an air guide structure. The impeller assembly comprises a first stage impeller and a second stage impeller, of which the rotation directions are opposite. The pressure surfaces of first blades of the first stage impeller are configured to be opposite the suction surfaces of second blades of the second stage impeller, and from the blade root to the blade tip, each of the first blades and the second blades bends toward its own rotation direction. The air guide structure comprises a flow guide cover. The flow guide cover is provided at the center position of the air intake side of the first stage impeller, and the air intake side surface of the flow guide cover at least partially forms a flow guide surface, the flow guide surface extending along the axis of the first stage impeller in the direction away from the counter-rotating fan.

A temperature destratification assembly can include an outer housing. An impeller can be positioned within the outer housing between the inlet and outlet of the outer housing. The impeller can have an impeller hub and a plurality of impeller blades extending radially outward from the impeller hub. The assembly can include an impeller motor configured to rotate the impeller blades about an axis of rotation. A stator can be positioned within the outer housing between the impeller and the outlet of the outer housing. The stator can include a plurality of vanes. The stator vanes can include an upstream edge at the upstream end of the stator, a first surface extending from the upstream edge to the downstream edge of the vane, and a second surface opposite the first surface and extending from the upstream edge to the downstream edge of vane. A plurality of the vanes can have a downstream edge at the outlet of the outer housing.

A transonic compressor of a turbomachine comprising exactly two or exactly three annular rows of rotor blades and respectively exactly one or exactly two annular rows of intermediate stator vanes interposed between two respective rows of rotor blades, wherein the flow velocity relative to the rotor downstream of the intermediate stator vanes is less than or equal to a Mach number of 0.9 over a radial portion of the blades extending over the radially inner 40% of the blades, and less than or equal to a Mach number of 1 over a radial portion extending over the radially inner 80% of the blades, and less than or equal to a Mach number of 1.05 over a radial portion extending over the radially outer 20% of the blades.

Provided is a reversible fan that produces a current of air in both of a normal direction and a reverse direction, the reversible fan including: an impeller configured to be rotatable about a rotation axis; a motor configured to rotate the impeller; a base portion supporting the motor; a tubular frame housing the impeller, the motor, and the base portion; a spoke extending from an inner peripheral surface of the frame toward the rotation axis, the spoke supporting the base portion; and a holding portion configured to hold at least a part of a lead wire provided along the spoke to apply power to the motor, wherein the holding portion is provided with a housing space opening in the reverse direction and extending along the spoke.

An adaptor is disclosed for connecting a rotating electrical machine 12 to a prime mover 10. The adaptor comprises at least one air outlet. The adaptor is arranged to provide an increase in a cross-sectional area of air flow towards the outlet. In this way part of the dynamic pressure can be converted into additional static pressure rise through steady expansion of the air flow cross-section. This in turn may help to improve the overall amount of cooling air passing through the machine for a given fan input power.

An un-ducted turbofan engine defining a radial direction and an axial direction that includes a core engine, a fan, a plurality of variable outlet guide vanes, and a pitch change mechanism. Each of the plurality of variable outlet guide vanes are attached in a rotatable manner to the core engine of the un-ducted turbofan engine. The pitch change mechanism is positioned radially between the engine air flowpath and the plurality of variable outlet guide vanes and coupled to at least one variable outlet guide vane of the plurality of variable outlet guide vanes for changing a pitch of the at least one variable outlet guide vane.
